You guyssss the lip balm is linked in the description 😂 But here it is again (code ALEX for 10% off) shop-links.co/ckX7XTfJtjb ❤
Alexandra what tretinoin do u use or where do u get it
How old are you 12
What about Always On in Olive shade????? like F10 0 L200
Dude... this turtleneck and your makeup made you look soooo classy... you're STUNING!
Also.... your skin is looking soooo good
😭 Thank you!
@@AlexandraAneleyes this makeup I couldn't quit staring at your perfect freaking face and how stunning this makeup is ....what shadow are u using ? It's such a nice looking brown
yes, what is this toasted biscuit shadow!? @alexandraanele
I agree I like the turtle neck on alex. But her commentary was funny though😂. Sometimes it seems as if her brain is wired my brain. Because her comment would be something I would think about myself but wouldn't say it out loud. Basically an inner thought I guess LOL
On the topic of tret - the holy grail of all tret is ALTRENO. It does not fry your skin the way most retinols do, or like the tret from my Curology subscription did. I was able to go straight to .05% and has not caused any irritation or dryness, but has the full benefits you’d hope for. I cannot overstate how amazing this stuff is. I suffer from eczema and sensitive skin, and this doesn’t irritate it in any way!
BOJ sunscreen is PERFECTION. Great filters, no scent, no eye sting, very smoothing w/o being heavy or too dewy. It's my day-to-day SPF, but not for hard core beach days b/c it's not sweatproof.
Definitely the best every day spf 🙌🏼
@@AlexandraAnele 14:06 Could you do a video that represents the diversity of the olive-undertoned community more comprehensively? Thousands of people recommend you for people who discover they are olive but are still marginalized and under-represented because they are not a warm-olive. (I know, I am one.) Olive undertones can be "warm-olive", "neutral-olive" or "cool-olive". Of which the latter is the most rare of the bunch in the western hemisphere. And ALL can be either "muted/desaturated" or "bright/saturated".
To represent everyone with a dedicated video or a series would be extremely helpful and up your subscribers if you referred to pigments/products that would work particularly for cool-olives. Skin can be porcelain, fair, light, medium, dark, deep brown. All of these distinctions explained would be a HUGE service to the millions/billions of olive skinned people out there many of whom still don't know they're olive.
Cosmetic companies to this day say all olives are warm which is absolutely not true. Yes, we can use foundation pigment correctors like Mehron in blue and green. Blue is better for "muted/desaturated" or green for "bright/saturated". But lots of people spend way too much money mixing in "concealer correctors" with their foundation to try to match which changes the formulation of the foundation and is more costly than foundation pigment correctors. And many don't want to go through the hassle of mixing pigment even though it may be fun for some of us.
I strongy suspect there is a much higher ratio of the population that has some level of an olive undertone and are unaware they are "getting away" with foundations that are "close enough" because they are warm and neutral olives. Which means they some neutral foundations are "good enough" for them. But this never really works for cool olives who don't know they need to be looking for purple blushes which will turn pink/mauve on their skin. Cool olives need to look to Asian taupe shadows for them to even begin to look right on their skin as opposed to American shadows which are primarily warm in tone.
It's all very frustrating as an artist, consumer, and makeup lover. Olives, particularly cool olives should not have to jump through hoops to find pigments that will work for them.
@@violetviolet888 okay go find a green/blue pigment to use in cosmetics that is cheap enough to use in production. That's the crux of it. And then get it approved for use on skin. Otherwise it's just iron oxides. You can complain all you want but until this exists you're shit out of luck.
Also not sure why you're bothering her about cool olive when she's not a cool olive.
@@donotreply8979 Here you go: I use Mehron (Same professional makeup brand that Alexandra often uses. "Liquid Makeup" in blue and in green. Under $7.00 each and both are lasted well over two years with at least two more to go). My comment was for Alex as she has a wide outreach and can educate her audience.
Honestly the Hero apricot sunscreen is my tried and true (it literally feels like a bb cream) but of course it's like twice as expensive (and I'm certain I could get coverage out of my $5 LA girl concealers). Is it really that awesome? I'm so curious!
I love the subtle eye look you have in this video!
I filmed this makeup! It’ll be up next week I think 😘
@@AlexandraAnele Oh brilliant tysm 😊 xx
@@AlexandraAnelethank youuuuuuu
Eye, lip AND contour are all ✨👌🏻✨ here 😍
Out of all the CZcamsrs I follow (and there are many that I’ve watched over the decade), you are the one I trust most with makeup recommendations. Thanks for all you do! ❤
😭 Thank you so much Raven! 🙏🏼❤️
Alex is the only beauty guru I still watch to this day, and trust completely. 💯
Dude. That Gold Bond retinol lotion that Dr.Dray recommended is a game changer. It's sooo goood! I also use it on my neck since Tret/Differin isn't neck-compatible.
Also, I finally bought Auric Plush Ritual and it should be coming today/tomorrow. I'm sooo stoked to finally try it. Woot!
I use it on my neck too! Hope you love auric 💜💜💜
I'm 55yo and use the GoldBond on my neck, chest , hands, and feet. It has softened the slight crepeyness
You're so reliable and I can't explain it but everything you say sounds so professional and genuine. I really enjoy watching you're videos ❤❤
The pronunciation is so close! The actual pronunciation of BoJ sounds more like Beauty of "Jo-sun" (an old terminology that refers back to one of the older periods of Korean Peninsula). Their skincare line overall is quite impressive and fitting those who have sensitive acne prone skin. Recommend!
Love everything about this video! A heads up for “older” skin: My friends and I tested the Smashbox foundation applied lightly with both a sponge and a brush. It always sat on top of the skin and looked like a coat of paint (much like Gaga’s line does on older skin). As an aside, it looks gorgeous in everyone’s kids!
Your whole look is so immaculately elegant, girlie is refined
So early to class today! Look at me go :)
Gold stars ⭐️☺️
Best first comment! Double stars ✨ ⭐️
I love these natural light vids you're doing of late, it really suits you, you look incredible here, effortlessly elegant , and the way the natural lights dances across your skin, wow. 💜💜
I’m really glad you posted today. I ended coming home to a really stressful night and there is just something about your videos that instantly calms me. It’s 9:30pm, I’m finally eating dinner and having a drink watching your videos and I feel so much better.
Thank you.
I've been doin my brows like you for so long now and I love this technique so much! They just look clean and natural. Also this method is super adaptable, I shaved like a little slit into my brow and it still works so well!
HOW ARE YOU IN MY BATHROOM!? All your recommendations are gold, & the reasons why you recommend them are 100% why I use them or want to use them.
The isntree hyaluronic acid watery sun gel is also fabulous, works as well for me as the beauty of joseon does. It doesn't sting my eyes either.
I like the Isntree even more tbh
i cannot stop being obsessed with your makeup and your face whenever i watch a new vid…like you’re so pretty and your features are so aesthetically pleasing i can’t. love the recent vids w this set up too! ❤
I absolutely love this! Real people talk. Real products that work behind the scenes. I’m totally here for this, not what’s new!
I get compliments all the time also about my eyebrows, people, asking if they are micro bladed, and that they look so good. Literally just soap and some brow pencil or a pen. I do tint them too with men’s beard dye! I did actually just pick up the Ardell brow glue today. I saw it by the eyelashes walking through Walmart and never knew they ever made a product such as this since I don’t do false lashes! Oh my goodness this stuff is like Elmers glue, but doesn’t stay sticky or wet. It is very effective and has some good ingredients. Sometimes, depending on the soap, it can irritate my brow skin area so I decided to find a gel that works similarly. This may…be it!
The K-beauty sunscreens are game changing. I got the Belif one in a kit, thinking I would just use it to get rid of it - but I’m converted to K-beauty SPF now. No stinging, no burn in my eyes, just amazing. I just ordered a bunch for the winter to try.
I LOVED this. It gave me a lot of really good Xmas gift ideas! You should do a Xmas best gifts to give video!!! It always helps me shop when I know what other people are giving their loved ones. 💕
I LOVE everything about this- the background, your outfit, makeup, accessories, and the real sh!t that I appreciate you for
I definitely want to know more about your use of retinol on the body, in what video do you talk about it? You're absolutely rocking that turtleneck by the way!
I have a question.... Why is it better/healthier to spray chemicals on your hair and scalp daily via a dry shampoo than it is to simply rinse your hair with water, which is one of the most inert (and essential) substances on the planet and will actually help rinse away pollutants? I understand not wanting to wash your hair every single day, and I know many people like that. I don't understand substituting water with chemicals sprays that just sit there, permeating the skin barrier and possibly building up toxins in your system.
I love the Maybelline bronzer! The shade is so perfect for my yellow warm undertones and the texture is beautiful. I have high end bronzers in my collection that have been ignored ever since I’ve discovered the Maybelline one.
OMG your Nails are so pretty!! Are they natural?
i would love a brand ranking video of some sort. like either ranking brands by tiers or a bracket elimination for brands. you could separate it out by drugstore/high end/luxury or not. i'm especially interested in all-rounder brands, which have great products for all complexion and eyes etc. but it doesn't have to be like that. i think it would be a fun idea! and potentially good for people like me who prefer to makeup shop in-person, where it's easier to start with a trusted brand and then move elsewhere if needed.
Your makeup looks absolutely radiant!
Thank you thank you for introducing me to the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen! I have struggled with sunscreens that burn my eyes, make me look white and sickly, make my skin greasy or sticky, etc. This is THE ONE. I’m never going back.
LOVE these kinds of videos !🙌🏻
i love how real she is. she always seems so sincere in her suggestions. very refreshing!!
Absolutely agree with nyx eyebrow color. I use espresso just the perfect brown shade. I got asked many times if my eyebrows are microbladed. Also living proof dry shampoo is amazing, so lightweight and yet reduces greasiness
Love the honesty on diff skincare. Appreciate all the tips and info. Thx
I’m so glad that you found Beauty of Joseon sunscreen. It’s so good and probably my favorite sunscreen.
Love your skincare journey. I started my tret and k beauty journey about 3 years before you started and I was so excited when you started your journey. Tret and beauty of Joseon are and absolute game changer. Add niacinamide 15-20% and it’s a recipe for stunning skin 😊
I LOVE your makeup coloring here 😍 Suits you so beautifully
I love Clio mascara, the long curling, one. Best price at Amazon. My eyes water and this is the only waterproof mascara that is truly waterproof! And it comes off easily with Clinique liquid take the day off makeup remover. Love it! Thank you, beautiful! 💕
That foundation does something reminiscent of the 16 hour camo concealer by Elf. Not that it's the same thing or whatever, I just mean it's similar in that it's kind of "light" and "airy" feeling and yet makes a hell of a difference with just one reasonable layer. I love
I found your channel a few days ago and have been watching your videos NON-STOP!! ever since. Your descriptions/recommendations are just great. I have two questions:
1. Can you link your colored contact lenses from the Bella Hadid tutorial please?
2. Do you have gel nails in this video or are they glued on? If they are glued on, I would be happy if you could link them ♥
Thanks for always teaching us Alex 😊
Your nails are fabulous! 💅🏼
Beauty of Joseon is my go-to sunscreen.I've been using it for YEARS. Nothing compares.
I’ve been using tretinoin 0.01% for 3yrs now and it’s still PLENTY strong for me. I love it! To reduce flakiness my derm said after cleansing and moisturizing wait at least 20min for your face to be totally dry, then apply. That works sooo well for me.
Thank you for sharing this. I knew I need to apply to dry skin but I definitely don’t wait longer than a couple minutes. And my skin continues to break out and get flaky even though I’m on 0.01%. I’ll wait longer!
I'm absolutely in love with the Auric lip treatment. Even a tiny bit is inctedibly nourishing.
You inspire me! I'm in my late 40s, and my makeup and skincare needs have and are changing. I bought your favorite brush set on Sigma, because I have small and hooded eyes... I need those and so thank you for recommending small brushes. :) Also .. I find that the inky list retinol is my go to, and the retinal eye cream. I also love inky list caffeine eye cream and their peptide/collagen serum products. I can't find a sunscreen though.... maybe I'll Try what u recommend. Sunscreen is the bane of my existence. Lol
Another good one that I like to use when doing makeup is Harharu Wonder Airyfit sunscreen. Its also very clean, moisturizing, fragnance free, and it almost doesn't sting my eyes at all (basically at the same level as BoJ one, I also have sensitive and dry eyes). Worth the mention in case you want to check it out 😊 Love your videos, you look gorgeous, and your nails look fabulous 😍🤗
I also use Tret and Beauty of Joseon spf is my favorite spf! If you like the dewy finish of the BoJ, I also recommend Can Make Mermaid Skin spf (Japanese) and the DRMTLGY combination chemical-mineral spf! Klorane dry shampoo is the best one I've ever used. I've heard the Living Proof and Dry Bar ones are also some of the best.
Girl, we need a video on today's look, please! GORGEOUS!
Also - where did you get your little silver heart earrings you wore in your last video? Thanks! 🤗❤️
1,000% on the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen! I never want to use an American sunscreen again.
I’ve also gone a little crazy with the BoJ line; I have two cleansers, toner, moisturizer, and mask. Love all of it.
It really is the best of the best, I’ve tried over 30 sunscreens in a year ~ I have eye issues and cannot tolerate any sunscreens but K beauty by my eyes
I love it too, have u tried the serums? Really good too. What moisturiser do you use!?
@@annanaylor I use the Glow Deep Serum and the Dynasty Cream. 😊
Is it mineral ? White cast on my tan skin? Glowy (I have oily skin and don't like more glow)?
@@midlifemom5829 hi hi, it isn't a mineral sunscreen.
It's slightly dewy - definitely not a matte sunscreen.
You could look into instree sunscreen.
Love the nail color!!
Omg, Alex. I would have to agree with your mascara recommendations. I've been meaning to try the clio mascara but it's not as easily accessible. I have been loving the tower 28 & gxve. However, mascaras that are not waterproof never lasts on me, so I layer it with the loreal lash paradise in waterproof 🙂
If you are in the U.S. it is available on Amazon from the actual brand!
I've used a ton of skincare items the last 2 years. Joseon is a very good brand. I've been using some of their serums. My favorite is a wonderful Japanese brand with rice moisturizer. It reals wonderful.
I just started using the Gold Bond lotion on your recommendation. Even if I don't ever see the retinol effects, it's still so nice and hydrating and doesnt take forver to dry down. I'm sold. I also weirdly like the smell of it. 🤷🏻♀️
The beauty of Joseon sunscreen is my st graal ! I am sensitive to sunscreen too and it doesn’t sting, it gives me a beautiful glow and hydrates too, I never use a moisturizer with this one because it can be too much if I combine both but it hydrates enough on its own ! (I have combination skin by the way) and makeup sticks great on top of it.
I’m obsessed with your nail color!
I love love love her earrings. So elegant and beautiful and really works with that turtleneck. 💗
I love the GB Retinol too. I also use it on my face and noticed a difference there too.
Always excited when skincare appears, If you loved the Boj spf you will love the Round Lab one❤❤
I’ve been using the Clio mascara ever since you first mentioned it. It’s the only on that does not smudge or flake on my oily lids. 🤟🏻
BoJ sunscreen broke me out - a similar one w no breakouts is Round Lab, and my FAVE is HaruHaru Wonder (very natural velvet finish on skin - no grease or dryness at all!!!) 😊
I’ve also fallen in love with the beauty of Joseon sunscreen!! It’s incredible 😍
Your hair looks so good in this video!
Would love a video on this makeup look, especially your lips! The color is amazing: what did you use, & what technique to get them so gorgeous?
Definitely keeping all of these top of mind - and love a tret rec! Idk why more people don’t use it
100% agree Nyx brow pen! I took that recommendation from you a while ago and it is definitely the best! Thanks as usual❤️
How do you get it to be “hairlike”?? Whenever I use it, even when wiping off the felt tip, it just leaves a block of stain.
@@thepeacefulprof for me personally I’m missing a lot of brows at the front (over plucked 90’s girl here lol) so might seem weird but I kind of go in from the top (of my forehead, if that makes any sense lol) and then using it on an angle I use quick upstrokes to make thin “hairs” I also go in with a spoolie soon after (let it dry a couple of seconds first) hope that helps!
Alex, I really agree with you about the Nyx brow pen being great😘
I really love the idea of the ritual lip treatment for gifts. Im starting my Christmas shopping so any videos on beauty gift recommendations would be welcomed!
You look fantastic! Video on this makeup look please!!
I love the gold bond retinol lotion!
We love being one of your IRL recommendations! We also love the turtleneck 😉 ❤
Looove this idea!!! Also the makeup is stunning, you look fantastic❤❤
You look just stunning in this video . The makeup , the jumper , the earrings . Perfect . Plus good video to know . I will try some of those things 💗
The nails 😊
Yassss the beauty of joseon spf!!! I cannot get over how good it is
Your brows are #goals. I’m super fussy with mascaras too and recently tried a mini of Fentys mascara and I’m loving it! Have you tried it?
I really appreciate that you talk about products that could work for other people and why. :) Many CZcamsrs just talk about what they like, but then I’m sitting here, well I have a pink undertone and you have a golden undertone, so I can’t use that blush, and here we are :/
Happy birthday month, Alex!! 🎉🍰🥂🥳✨
You look stunning as always!
I LOVE that sunscreen!! 😍😍😍 game changer! Every single video you post I click on IMMEDIATELY 😂😂 love love love! Thank you! ❤❤
Thank you so much for this and all of your videos! I don't normally comment but I've been bingeing Caroline Winkler and she is so refreshing!!!
Thanks for the recommendations. Love your earrings.
Oh em gee alex a makeup tutorial on this look PLS🥺 I’m obsessed
I bought NYX brow pen in 2021 and I still use it... this pen is better than ABH and MAC for sure!
I dont know if you will see this Alexandra (or if you have mentioned it before) but I just found out about using arnica for under eye discoloration and puffiness and its supposed to be a game changer! I just got a tube so gonna start testing it out since nothing seems to get rid of my dark circles
From a Korean speaker: It's pronounced Joe-Sun, rhymes with Go-Fun :) And I agree- The Beauty of Joseon SPF is one of my favorites!
Can confirm this!
Thanks for making this video !
Just told my sister to check out your channel cause everything you say is true. We're both light olives I think. I bought the Wayne Goss face palette and Makeup by Mario ethereal eyes palette on your recommendation and love them both. Also ordered the Auric balm that should be coming soon and really curious about the Maybelline bronzer now! I also already own the beauty of Joseon sunscreen and living proof dry shampoo which I love. (Btw, I think it's pronounced joson in Korean.)
Advanced Clinicals is the name of the lotion you were using. Perfect timing -- earlier today, an hour or two after this vid was posted, I had decided to buy the AC lotion because I had seen you and other people using it, but for whatever reason I decided to watch this vid first and now I want to try the Goldbond instead! Thank you for your wisdom! 🤩 So do you ever get any sun? Is a little sun okay when using retinol?
Would you ever do a What I Eat In A Day vid? I love those vids and would love to see one from you! I think we have a similar way of eating. Take care! 🙂
You look beautiful in ivory! Loving the new background. & Btw those earrings are absolutely stunning, i’m in love 🥰
i love your setup 🫶
Awesome! Im getting that Gold Bond body lotion and would love to try some of the others youve mentioned. I need options too😆👍💖
I liked that sunscreen, but I like the Skin1004 Hyalu-Cica water-fit sun serum even more. Such a nice consistency, and it doesn't burn my eyes at all.
The skin1004 sunscreen (korean brand) is really similar to the boj one and has a pump which I really enjoy. I just bought a second one. Also, I have pretty short, straight and stubborn (Asian) lashes and I like the romand han all fix mascara in long black (01). It has a smaller brush which makes it easier for me to use :)
I just got way too excited that you tried the BoJ sunscreen 🤣 I was waiting for the day after that spf video!
Alex, I gotta tell you something. Burt’s Bees Overnight Intensive Lip Treatment also has ceramides, is just as, if not more, moisturizing than the auric, and costs $9 at target (1/3 the cost of auric!!). Please try it as a replacement for the auric!
I’m really curious how you’d like Pacifica’s Aquarian Gaze Mascara. It’s water resistant, which I know waterproof mascara is a must! Me too! They term it water resistant, but I wear it all the time and I think it does a great job of staying on all day for me. It feels so hydrating on my lashes! It’s a natural lash look for sure, but it feels great and doesn’t irritate. I’m really trying to make cleaner makeup choices so I would love to see what you think of some of the cleaner drugstore brands like Pacifica or Honest…
just ordered t6he foundation, auric, and gold bond...I can't wait!!!LOVEG your nails too, what kind of style is that/what did you ask your nail tec to do?
Love this !
Great video - I will be getting the Gold Bond on my next trip to town.
I just started using haruharu wonder black rice moisture airyfit daily sunscreen SPF 50+/PA ++++. The name is freaking long, but it is so great. Melts into my skin, doesn't sting my eyes. Its all kinds of perfect for me. It's 1.69 oz and it was like 12.99 on amazon.
You look amazing, especially love the eye look. Could you do a tutorial on the whole look?
Thanks Alex for all the time and work you put into these videos.
I think the best recommendation i got from you is a CLIO mascara. Since i bought one i don't use anything else. Only i have to use a fixer, to keep my asian straight lashes curled.
